How we earn
This affiliate disclosure explains how BasinVerdict makes money and what that means for you when you click a link to buy a sink.
Some links on our site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. You should know that before you act on any recommendation, so here's exactly how it works. It applies to every review, buying guide and comparison on BasinVerdict.
How BasinVerdict Makes Money
BasinVerdict earns money through affiliate commissions, mainly from Amazon. When you click one of our links and buy a qualifying product, Amazon pays us a small percentage of the sale.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
You click a link
For example, a "Check Price on Amazon" button on one of our sink reviews.
You buy on Amazon
You check out on Amazon as usual, at Amazon's regular price.
Amazon pays us
Amazon pays us a small commission. You pay nothing extra.
| You might wonder | The answer |
|---|---|
| Do I pay more through your link? | No. The price is the same either way. |
| Do you get paid for clicks? | No. We only earn when a click leads to a qualifying purchase. |
| Can you see what I bought or who I am? | No. Amazon shares order totals with us, not your name or account details. |
| Can a brand pay for a better ranking? | No. Brands can't pay to be included or ranked. |
You'll find affiliate links in "Check Price on Amazon" buttons and in some product names within our reviews. Any page with affiliate links also carries a short disclosure near the top.
About prices: sink prices and availability on Amazon change often, sometimes daily. We don't list fixed prices in our reviews, so always check the current price on Amazon before you buy.
Our Editorial Independence
Commissions pay for our research, but they never decide what we recommend. We rank every sink on the same scoring factors, such as steel gauge, bowl depth and minimum base cabinet size, whether or not we earn from it. If the best sink for your kitchen earns us less, it still ranks first. Our editorial policy covers this in full.
What commissions pay for
- Researching specs, manuals and owner feedback
- Keeping guides updated and the site running
What they never change
- Which sinks we pick and how we rank them
- The weaknesses we point out in every review
